We know there are MILLIONS of SW toy fanatics. Surely, a few of 'em have to be doing their own dios. BUT where are they? Anybody know any dio sites? You gotta figure that GI Joe has a few database sites, fanficition sites, customs, and of course, HERE. Yet, where are the SW sites??? Or does Lucas have a tight reign on the sites out there? I've never done a SW dio but I've done a few shots that could act like one. shrug JoeSightings.com has a SW section on their forums but you gotta host your own pics and well, throwing a dio in a post isn't very neat. Anybody? Anybody???

That's a limitation of Star Wars or its fans, I guess. The movie canon is all that matters for some people. I've seen a decent amount of customs. A fair amount of Star Wars toy collectors are Mint in Package types. In fact, collecting the sheer amount of stuff seems to be focus of SW message board posters. There's a few who show off Imperial and Clone armies.

Maybe this site could have a small SW gallery. Since there both hasbro. I want to this one site where people made custom clone troopers and they were amazing! But its not a dio site. __________________ Rangers lead the Way!

Instead of word balloons the dialogue is posted underneath each pic, though a few people do use word balloons. They’re not nearly as good as most dio stories though, for some reason not many people spend much time making sets or custom figures, they just “use their imagination” and pretend that that Luke figure isn’t actually Luke. Meh, I’ve been spoiled by the Joe community. rebelscum

And talking about Star Wars Dio's i remember a Year or so back seeing pic's of a HUGE Star Wars & G.I Joe collection set up in Dio Scenes,and when i say HUGE,i mean HUUUUUUGE!! I'm pretty sure it was in a big Toy store in Canada,and i think the owner of the Store is who collects all the Toy's.And he hires Professional Model builders to come in and set up these Dio's,plus they made models of Big Star Ships and other custom made models.They had a bunch of different Dio scenes of both Star Wars, and G.I Joe.They had a bunch of Flaggs-Terror Dromes, and any other Joe set you can think of.And there wasn't just one or two of these,they had many many of them.There was a few Dio scenes that really stuck out in my mind,the Hoth battle scene Dio was amazing.There was a big bunch of AT-AT Walkers with Snow Speeders wraping the wires around the AT-AT's legs,and the whole on the ground Battle with the Snow Troopers against the Hoth Rebels.And there was a Space Battle Dio set up with all the custom Big Star Cruiser models,and of course there was a Death Star Dio scene.There was all the Star Wars, and Joe figues you could imagine.Also a Ocean scene with a Fleet of Flaggs,with Jet's taking off and landing on them!If anybody know's the place i'm talking about,post up the name of the Toy store,or post a link to it.I can promise any of you guy's out there that hasn't seen these pic's of that Toy Store's collection,it will definitely amaze you!I hope someone has the link to it,maybe someone in Canada will know the place i'm talking about and help us out.
